I love both of them, but the hunter's star is amazing! I love how you combined your colors

Not sure what you mean by "strategy"? It was a free pattern found online, and a lot of fun to make as it was improvisational. Cut a rectangle, then cut in half lengthwise (for the main stem). Cut each half in a few places for the branches. Then inset a 1" piece of contrasting fabric. Voila! Just square up to a uniform size. I loved using batiks for the blocks.

Those are beautiful! Love that scrappy Hunter's Star. The Arboretum is so pretty. I saved that pattern awhile ago, it's definitely on my "someday" list!

Thanks for sharing.
